  • ARSA — THE AIRHEADS RADIO SURVEY ARCHIVE

    ------------------------------­------------------------------­--------------------

    Not just "reliving the past" but more importantly "preserving the past". Radio is unique in that, unlike other media forms, there is no easy access to old music radio shows. Old movies and TV shows continue to be shown on network or cable TV, and can be rented/purchased on tapes or DVD. Print media like old books,

  • ARSA

  • Just stopped in again. Mike, I have a request. I see many songs on ASRA surveys from thousands of these top 40 charts ging back to 50's tto current. Would you mind going through them all and post the top thousand on YouTube?

  • I think some of these live shot pics are mine. There are a few floating around google. So exciting to see them in a video like this. Kinda cool

  • I LOVVVVVVVVVVVE This song. Video is great. This is the best shake it up song that there is.

  • Just stopped in Mike

  • This song is dedicated to my beautius niece Free!

  • I LOVE this track. Thanks.

  • ehm. my uncle used to play in a band called illusionand he was the drummer

  • I think it was "The Action House," in Long Beach was their regular place,along with Twisted Sister, and the Vagrants

  • great song takes me back to my drumming days. awsome drum solo. thanks for sharing.Peace

  • When I heard this riff it blew me away back in the same year Zeppelin thundered over America. These guys were great players and could rock and it's a shame they weren't bigger.

  • awsome tune played this one all the time iam a bassplayer for many years but did play some drum as well'And remember playing the drum solo ..Thanks for sharing.peace

  • Post "Angel" by them. It rocks.

  • ARSA

  • Sorry - peaked at #3 . #8 last week. Mike, Solanas has 100000 surveys. Can you contribute?

  • ASRA Music surveys (las solanas) - see the charts . This peaked here: 8 WHYN Springfield Massachusetts

  • Played on the same bill as The 5 Illusions at The Bay Lounge,Mickey's on Queens Blvd.Yesterday's in Jackson heights,Mickey's in Long Beach etc.Great time for music in the sixties for regional bands.

  • The drummer of The Illusion was quite good but you can't tell from this recording.He was at the same level as Dino Dinelli of The Rascals.The Illusion were more of a live band.I played on the same bill with The Illusion many nights in the mid to late sixties.A great time of my life.

  • I Love what you did here The video is really interesting Thank you for posting this Thumbs up my friend

  • I saw these guys in 1971 at a William Tennent high school rock concert. They took this song and kept it going 15 minutes or more. The Illusion and some local bands made it one of the most awesome rock concerts ever. I still have the 45 of this song.

  • dang!! didn't know there WAS a long version to this!! SWEEEEET!! thank u!!

  • Got this LP back in the 60's. Love this tune...blast it on my car CD all the time. Young punks think it's new music.

  • wow, thank you very much from the b boys of the world !

  • Had a hard time finding this one on LP many moons ago.Cool tune. Those who like this should search Hot Smoke and sassafras by The Bubble Puppy,another rockin tune from that ere that should have had more play. Dan Dell

  • I still can't find "Angel" yet, another great song from this group.

  • a killer tune...they deserved more attention, but this is definitely their toughest song...pretty neat...pretty good...

  • Dear, John:I don't know whether or not you remember me, but Iam Michelle Collins, a gorgeous blond who dated you and bought you a nice necklace friendly with Barbara Regerio,Libby,Martha,Linda tool-you must remember us.Don't know what your up to, say hi to the guys and thanks for the memories.Angels on your pillow-516-764-1203.

  • The Illusion opened followed by The Vanilla Fudge capped off by Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels on a Village Theater bill in the Summer of Love. It remains the best concert I ever witnessed!

  • I played with my band and the illusion for a week at the Action House in Island Park N Y house that for being there Me and Chuck had 68 gto s we d race all the time got my hair cut at john Vincis stylelist, days of future past.

  • this song is dedicated to my gorgeous niece "DREE WOW O WOW!

  • this is most definetley going on my mp3, ese!

  • great classic 5*****

  • WOW!!! What a great song!! Thanks for posting this! I like that you incorporated pics of the group along with really good psychedelic video. Brings back good memories. My dad picked up the LP at k-mart for $.25 (discount bin)around 1972, I was 10 then, but this song along with run run run quickly became one of my all time favorites. 5 stars to you!!

  • Was ready to leave US Army at this time, my friend Nick from Brooklyn turned me on to this great song. Hey Nick, can you remember the Trolly in Seattle ? LOL, Good times !

  • We were a garage band in Queens and used to ROCK OUT on this song! We'd start it off with the infamous COW BELL baby! Of course we took it off into our drug and alcohol induced musical state! Great song! MORE COW BELL!

    Can anyone post the Illusion's song

    "Let's Make Each Other Happy". I saw them perform it on a show which I believe was called Upbeat that ran Sunday mornings on ABC. Now that footage would be really cool.

    40 years ago! They would play the Bay Lounge in Rockaway beach, packed, jamed, it was an event ! Thank you....... Christ 40 years!

  • @MusicMike2 I just read your post. I'm a big Illusion fan also, it is very hard to find anything on CD. Especially their newer album, I think from 1972. It was "If it's so", I have an LP somewhere. And by far it is my ultimate favorite. And I also can not find a single song from that album. Write me back. Ronnie

    The LONG Version is a classic and belongs in the archives of 1960's- 70's ALL TIME GREATS.
